Firekeep is a large castle located on top of a system of active volcanoes. At the time of Fire and Ice, Firekeep is ruled by the generous King Jarol, along with his 22-year-old son, Prince Taro, and his 15-year-old daughter, Princess Teegra. It appears to be situated somewhere south of the Great Plain.
History[]
When Lord Nekron sent multiple glaciers to attack the small, nomadic villages located across the land, many people fled towards Firekeep in order to find sanctuary. King Jarol, being a kindhearted man, gave the people refuge in Firekeep. However, Nekron's ultimate goal was to capture Firekeep. He continued the push the glaciers forward but dispatched an invoice to offer a solution to the king; in return for Nekron stopping the glaciers' destructive path, King Jarol must surrender Firekeep to Nekron. Jarol rebuffed the offer, and Nekron's ape men subsequently kidnapped Princess Teegra. Jarol later sent Taro to surrender to Nekron, but the young prince was violently killed by the villainous Ice lord. In the final Battle of Icepeak, Nekron's glaciers crossed over the nearby river, forcing the king and his men to finally release a deadly lava flow which finally destroyed Icepeak, and lifting the shadow of war which had hung over the kingdom of Firekeep.
Future[]
Following the Battle of Icepeak, it is implied that the kingdom will be rebuilt, and most likely will be ruled from Firekeep.
